INDICOLITE

Indicolite’s name originates from the Latin word for a blue coloured plant known as the “Indicum”. Although the gem is normally translucent to opaque, transparent pieces can occasionally be found; their rarity and popularity with gem collectors and connoisseurs means that they can often demand some of the highest prices of all gemstones.
Crystal Healers believe that Indicolite is useful for creating an air of openness and tolerance. In days gone by, the rich would wear Indicolite (although it was not known as this at the time) to dispel curses and to protect the wearer from danger.This incredibly rare gemstone forms part of the group of Tourmalines known as Elbaite. It is similar in colour to that of London Blue Topaz: Indicolite’s colour, however, is created purely by Mother Nature
